I suppose this guy was ideal as my first opponent of the night, because quite frankly, he sucked.

I was in the top right which was quite handy - I took the airport straight away and went for tanks straight out of the refinery. I killed off most his dogs thus preventing him seeing my base.

I had managed to scout out his area thoroughly - he put his war factory down half a tank after mine; always a comforting sight. Once I had 3 tanks I sent them to his gem patch (by the bridge), joined up my two dogs from earlier and made a paradrop at the same time. He retreated the miners, sold the refinery and started insulting me.

He tried to fight me off with a pair of grizzlies, but it was always going to be in vain. Too easy.
